I disagree; I drove a 2007 Prius and hated it, then a few years later I drove a 2011 Prius and hated it even more (mainly for failing to get any appreciable upgrades in 4 years). Then I drove a 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid and for the first time understood what a hybrid car was supposed to be. I don't think anyone who

"but you haven't argued your point convincingly."

Now you're backpedaling. You've consistently gone way beyond his statement to list a dozen reasons why he shouldn't include gay sex for his gay POV characters. You don't have to agree with my reasons why he should be brave enough to do so even if it is beyond his worldview, why it makes sense for "medieval" fantasy,

Right, like I'm the first person to exagerate in the history of online comments.

No. It wouldn't be. I'm not calling anyone a bigot. I'm agreeing with the article's author that "I don't feel like it" is a bullshit excuse for failing to acknowledge heteronormative bias, and all your attempts to put words in GRRM's mouth are ridiculous.

"high born individuals, in particular, would be under not to engage in it"

I think we need to step back and reflect on my original point. There is no reason to treat gay characters like the butt of a joke unless you're making social commentary. Which you're apparently trying to backpedal your way into. But you've already painted yourself into a corner, so there's no room to fit that bicycle.

Right. You're basically making my point for me. Finally. So thanks. Again.

Hiding the acts of royalty? You know what Cersei does with her brother, right? So there's room for incest, but no hot gay sex. Got it. Thanks.

AND the WORST part is you COMPLETELY ignored that part where I showed why a highborn person would be MORE likely to have hot gay sex in medieval times, AND the part where I reminded you the POV characters are almost all highborn.

Dude, I had something like 18 replies, you're the only one I used a "verbal assault" against and it has nothing to do with a "brand" of "perfect fiction" and EVERYTHING to do with you taking me out of context, ignoring parts of my replies, or taking other parts hyper literally in order to cling to an increasingly

I should have said the same thing to you hours ago. Fuck off. Or go back and see if you can take more of my comments out of context, while simultaneously taking them hyper-literally. You have a knack for it, and probably an exciting future as That Guy Everyone Hates.

Seriously, this guy is terrible.

Wait, are you trolling me? I appreciate your sentiment in the first half, but then you jumped on the crazy train.

ASOIAF takes place on Westeros. Last time I checked, there's no Westeros on Earth, so that's a different planet. Which is what reminded me of the article. But it doesn't matter, because you're refusing to read between the lines in order to defend your otherwise indefensible position.

I'm equally baffled by your bafflement. Maybe because you took me 94% out of context. Or didn't actually read what I wrote. Or are confused about fantasy being "our world." Le sigh.

I have, actually, but thanks for your mock concern. Renly is relentlessly made fun of behind his back across the seven kingdoms for being a deviant. And treating bi characters better than the gay ones actually kind of proves my point.

I've actually read them all, twice, but thanks for the ad hominem attack dumbass
